Brown but I'll be defering for a year for medical reasons.

Has anyone received funding information from Columbia Epi?

I'm so sorry to see your post…just want to give you a big e-huge. Don't feel bad since you don't know what will happen before the infamous April 15th. 
This is my application cycle #2. At the time when I got full rejections, I was determined to try again. It was not until I had been rejected did I realize how much I want to pursue a PhD. So…on the other hand, it may be a good sign for you to pursue the real life you want. A PhD is never equal to susccessful careers anyway.
Hang in there & Don't take rejections too hard & Glad you are figuring out your choice by this exploratory journey & my e-hug
 
 
 

Hi, sorry for the late reply, that was me! I received an email from my assigned mentor telling me I was accepted and to expect an official acceptance shortly. I have yet to receive that official offer though. Oh, and I'm cancer epi.

For what it's worth, I received an email from the assistant director of the PHS program on Tuesday, with a letter attached from the director of the PHS program. Then today, I received my official letter of acceptance from the dean for admissions/financial aid within the GSAS portal.

For Harvard PHS, you can check the status by logging into the GSAS portal where you submitted your application. There isn't a portal for Columbia and I'm not sure about NYU.

Sorry for the confusion that caused by my post!!
I was checking on my smart phone and couldn't see the whole decision. I saw "thank you" at the beginning and "we sincerely hope …" as an ending, then falsely assumed it as a rejection?
So…turns out that I'm on the wait list…????

Can Harvard and Columbia just put me out of misery already!? Waiting is agonizing. 

Hi all! I've been following this sub for a while but this is my first time posting. I'm in at BU for PhD in Epi and I'd love to talk to anyone else whose gotten in. Feel free to message me!
 

Seems like a lot of decisions are going today.
Got rejected from Hopkins but got in to BU. I have 2 more schools that I'm waiting on. Really want to get in to Columbia but a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Good luck everyone and thanks to that kind soul that talked me off the ledge.
Rejected: Brown (BHSS), Hopkins (Pop Fam), UCLA (CHS)
Accepted: BU (Epi)
Pending: Columbia (SMS) and Brown (Epi)

I feel the same way! I was accepted to Harvard PHS-Epi today and I still can't fully believe it.

I'm honestly in a strange daze right now. My official acceptance for Harvard's Population Health Sciences program came through a bit ago (Social and Behavioral Sciences concentration). I was not expecting this, at all.
Edit: Accidentally entered it under "Clinical And Population Health Research" on the Results page because there's a strange autocorrect system...

Last Wednesday! 

They told me they hoped to notify people by end of the month. 
Yes, I agree. March seems late considering we have to commit in April... 

Does anyone know when Columbia Epi is planning to release decisions?

Thanks for the heads up, guys! Confirming also that JHU decisions are up on the portal, without any email sent.
Luckily, I was accepted to HBS. Still no information on funding, so I don't know if I'll accept. 
Good luck everybody.
 

I emailed with the Epi contact at Harvard, asking another question. She did mention decisions are to be going out the third week of February. 

Not sure how may people they will ultimately give offers to (i.e. off the waitlist) but I think around 15-16 offers have been made.

Apparently they plan to fill 14 spots at JHU-Epi. Not sure how they'll be distributed by track (it changes year to year).
